A question that hasn’t been asked or answered that I have seen is the reason for part-time. Why? The answer to that (does not need to be shared) may help someone better equipped with the larger picture offer more appropriate guidance. If the goal is a job, then ability to function needs to match the desire. (Which is how I read the Peace Corps response.)
I think career counseling prior to leaping toward a specific college or degree might yield better long term outcomes.
